  1. It depends upon the operation, and when referring to the U.S., there are different elite units for different missions also.  When I was in the service for instance, the Australian  SAS couldn't drop in with nukes as the U.S. Green Barret and Marine Force Recon could (and the SEALS can swim them in).  The British were still trying to decide if their people would be allowed to emplace them.  If you need a nuke behind the lines to do some damage, this information limits who you can send. (again, this is what I was in the service)

    For conventional operations, the Australian and British SAS can do things that the American Democrats would try to put our own elite forces in jail for doing, so the SAS have the upper hand there.   The British SAS only has a drawback of often being a bit too shy to stand up to their officers (although their officers seemed to have more common sense than ours in the U.S.)    The Aussies seemed to find a "happy medium" when it came to dealing with commissioned idiots.

    The above mentioned items are the important things.  All of them can do the physical "macho-mania" stuff, but then so can the average U.S. Marine fresh out of Boot Camp.  


  2. U.S. SEALs and Delta Force and Brit. SAS are up there on top

    Then I would say Austraila

    Then Russia

    Then like 400 countries

    Then France

    A Navy SEAL officer that I knew said that some G.R.O.M. guys that he worked with in Europe were totally badass.

  3. UK

    USA

    Russia

    France

    Australia

    It's widely regarded that the SAS are the best special forces in the world, even by many of their "rivals".

  4. 1. uk- SAS

    2. US - delta force

    3. australia-  australian SAS

    4. russia- spetsnaz

    5. france  

  5. the SAS

    they're the Originals, the Real McCoy, the Elite of the Elite


  6. Specnaz. The others don't agree but if you know something about the Specnaz drill techniques than what your ordinary mainstream media brings to you... then there is nothing to discuss ;-)

  7. hmmm.... not an easy question as no two operations are the same and nearly all special forces operations are top secret but i will try and answer

    the UK is definitely top in fact most foreign special forces (including the US) are modelled from the UK

    its difficult to say between australia, france and the US though , i would imagine russia is last
